    That's a fair reason then mate. And it looks like you've picked up a very clean exec to work on , SS kit is def the way to go ... That's what i've done/in the process of doing.. Just an FYI in case your after a rough price range- Full SS kit for me has cost $1200 (sprayed), that was with Genuine parts.

    probly better off getting them sprayed because they take forever to remove, you"ll either have to pay somebody else alot of money to do it or spend about 4 hours on your knee's removing them urself lol, neither an attractive option
